The latest polls indicate Donald Trump is under water in most of the nation, with only a few states being positive toward him and his domestic and foreign policy agenda.
The states that show support of Trump include:
Wyoming
West Virginia
North Dakota
Oklahoma
Idaho
Tennessee
Indiana
Kansas
Mississippi
Alabama
Arkansas
South Dakota
Missouri
Nebraska
Kentucky
Louisiana
After these 16 states, Trump is very unpopular in 7 “battleground” states
including:
Arizona
North Carolina
Pennsylvania
Wisconsin
Michigan
Nevada
Georgia
And in crucial states, such as Ohio, Florida, Virginia,and even Texas, Trump is extremely unpopular.
He has lost Generation Z; Latinos; women; African Americans; highly educated voters; those with less than a college degree, and most significantly, Independents.
